## 🕶️ What it is
Kuang Grade Mark Eleven is a visible, stateful web browser that any MCP agent can drive.
Most agent browsers are a library you integrate, or a cloud you rent. Kuang is a desktop application you
own: a real Chromium window on your machine, controlled over the Model Context Protocol. Your agent runs
where you already run it — local or remote — and Kuang supplies the browser, the input, and the memory.
A real browser, not a simulation. Visible Chromium with hardware acceleration, persistent cookies,
real tabs, downloads, and a human-sized viewport. No headless fingerprint.
Structured first, pixels when needed. observe returns a compact, addressable view of the page
(markdown, text, accessibility tree, or Set-of-Marks). takescreenshot is there when layout matters.
Input that looks human. Clicks and keys travel over the Chrome DevTools Protocol with Bézier paths
and Gaussian typing cadence — and they land even when another application owns the foreground.
State that survives. LanceDB memory, bookmark and session vaults, download harvesting and a script
vault mean the next session starts where the last one stopped.
Self-hosted by construction. stdio MCP plus a localhost bridge. No account, no dashboard, and no
telemetry leaving the machine.
Open the MP4 if your browser does not animate WebP.
